Hi! I found my local hospitals menopause clinic was very helpful. It depends if your local hospital has one. Also there's a site called MenopauseMatters, in the UK and there's one called Hystersisters in the US. I know there are questions and posts on that one, some of them may help you. The Ovacome website has a helpline number where ther is a nurse who may be able to help you! but it's more likely that the specific menopause sites will help you to find the info that will help you. Any load-bearing exercise ( like weight training, walking yoga or tai chi) will help to build up bone strength. I find a 'Ladycare' magnet (from Boots or Waitrose) helps me with hot flushes.
The Penny Brohn website has all sorts of info about supporting yourself through and after a cancer diagnosis, so you may find some info on there too. I buy my supplements and vitamins from the Natures Best website and there is an email query line which is informative. They gave me good advice in the past.
Good luck

This web-site's got a good round up of info - just put in your search terms:
